So who is qualified to borrow? You're self employed and have a decent credit score. You had a good year in 2007 and a modest year in 2008. But because you are not a salaried employee, there are more issues than ever to  overcome. Your specific industry is evaluated for risk purposes. Here in Char...

The local TV stations have switched to digital (except one). The move has not caused Y2k like repercussions. I would not have been affected as I subscribe to Time Warner Cable.

Know the Beatles song? "Will you still be sending me a valentine, birthday greetings , bottle of wine?" Today's notion that all things electronic are best ...is not always best. The essence of AR is to connect electronically. I like that added extension of my interaction. But some things still ne...

Nothing like itching and moaning. Except we're all doing it. "How's your business? " "Awesome, we're eat up" "Hand over fist land office business"... and your's...? "Plumb, can't beat 'em off with a stick". Yep, the order takin' is over and gosh dern it, we have work for a livin'. Bravado aside, ...
